Hell no.

Until some random time later at 2 in the morning I instivicitviely get out of bed to open it not realizing what I'm doing because all good things happen after 2am

You have been with your partner for 8 years and have two kids together. Everything is good in your relationship. You are given the option to open a box to find out if your partner has been faithful throughout the relationship. Do you open the box?

My answer is No

8 years? Two kids? And we're happy?

Yeah nah. Ignorance truly is bliss at that point.

Besides, what if there's nothing in the box anyway? :yeshrug:

Nah, it's not entirely wild. I see life is finite, when you die, that's it, nothing follows it. So if someone does something that has a permanent impact on your life, like betraying your trust such that you can never trust anyone ever again, forever plagued with being jaded, your life has been forever marred, you can't get that back, it is a form of killing, imo.

Obviously it's not outright killing but consider this, if I outright kill, that person is dead, they can no longer experience pain, bad thoughts, nothing, me destroying your trust can follow you until the end of your life. It's like rape, etc., anything that causes a traumatic experience that follows you for life, your life is forever plagued.


On the rate of cheating, yeah, a lot of people do cheat, they are all trash people with no care for next person, no integrity, and act on impulse. There is no excuse for it beyond the recognition of the level of depravity that follows most humans.


I take ethics very seriously, these matters very seriously, but I can understand why it might seem so inconsequential without a foundation based on ethics, but it's also why we run into so many issues involving humans today. I can put you on some solid reads if you want. :sas2:
Yeah pass them reads

But I would never let what happens to me change me as a person. To me thats the biggest L you can take. You can't control what happens to you only how you react to it. That person does not have the control of you to make you bitter that is your choice. Too many people worry about a past they can't change. If I was cheated on Ima take the L but I wouldn't be afraid to trust someone again or open myself up.

Ignorance is bliss, but there is no guarantee that your partner won't cheat down the line with you finding out, so why not find out now as opposed to later when things make it harder to reasonably end the relationship?

Once a cheat... :yeshrug:

But if she's been cheating responsibly for 8 years already then what makes youll ever find out?

You're speaking as if you're gonna find out eventually which isn't true. Plus she may have done it only a couple times and stopped for all you know.

Any man on this site that has been
in a steady with a broad for over a year
shouldnt go to sleep another night thinking
his dikk has been the only one in that broad.
She may love you but she's with you
out of comfort or normality.

the nikka that really get her hot in the

p*ssy can hit anytime opportunity
will allow them to creep.
she cant control him and for the
most part he treats her like something to do.
that box would mean mass suicide
for these tender kiss in the mouth ass nikka.

My answer is No
How long has everything been good in the relationship?

I'm a determinist, so my outlook is going to vary significantly compared to yours, from my point of view, you have no control over what impacts your life, only mitigations that can lend towards you handling it better, which you also have no control over, from my point of view.

Book:

I think that's a good intro to considering ethics without getting too bogged down in academic books, from there, you could go anywhere. Also, the edition matters, so if you do decide to read it, I'm recommending the translation provided by Gregory Hays, the first 70-90 pages are an introduction to the Marcus, his life, and some explanation of what to expect in the book, I can see how it can come off as a bit boring, and I wouldn't blame you for skipping it and supplementing it for a quick summary.

Yeah, the possibility is there that she never gets caught, I was just noting the OP didn't say she wouldn't cheat again or that she couldn't get caught cheating in the future. But as I noted later in the thread, I'm always opening a box of a truth, especially since truth is at the core of what I care about, couldn't give a damn of pleasantries if what lies under it is filth, but I acknowledge ignorance is bliss, my mind just won't allow me to operate like that.


And I'm sorry but "cheating responsibly" is hilarious :mjlol: , I get what you mean, but geez, people approach cheating far too flippantly. My assumption is that this take can seem reasonable because often, women are stuck in financial constraints, and have kids, which make it really hard to just separate from their partner, thus this idea of simply cheating without getting caught is fine because it doesn't publicly embarrass your partner. Well I see it as totally wrong and to be avoided whether it goes public or stays in private indefinitely, moral wrongs aren't alleviated because they happen in the dark, in a vacuum.
